AGREEMENT

     

    


    This
Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 23, 2008,
between ________________ (the “Seller”) and Kirkfield, L.L.C. (the
“Buyer”).

     

    WHEREAS,
the Seller is willing to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase
from the Seller, __________________ (_________) shares of Common Stock (the
“Shares”) and a warrant entitling the Seller or its assigns to purchase
________________ (_________) shares (“Warrant” and together with the Shares,
“Securities”) of Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), currently held by the Seller.

     

    ACCORDINGLY,
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

     

    1.   Sale of
Securities.  The Seller hereby agrees to sell to the Buyer, and
the Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from the Seller, all of the Securities on
the Closing Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Date”
shall mean such date as soon as practicable after the date hereof but in no
event later than three (3) business days after the date hereof on which all of
the conditions to transfer of the Securities have been satisfied.

     

    2.   Purchase
Price.  The purchase price for the Shares is
____________________ Dollars ($___________) and for the Warrant is
___________________ Dollars ($_______) resulting in an aggregate purchase price
of __________________________ Dollars ($_______) (the “Purchase Price”) for the
Securities.  The Purchase Price shall be paid from the Buyer to the
Seller on the Closing Date in immediately available funds against delivery by
the Seller to the Buyer of (i) a certificate or certificates representing the
Shares registered in the name of the Buyer or, if not so registered, accompanied
by stock powers in form sufficient to permit transfer of the Shares into the
name of the Buyer on the books of the stock transfer agent of the Company and
(ii) the original Warrant accompanied by a Certificate of Transfer evidencing
the assignment of the Warrant to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the
Warrant.

     

    3.   Representations and
Warranties of the Seller.  The Seller represents and warrants
to the Buyer as follows:

     

    (a)   Organization of
Seller.   Seller is a corporation duly formed and validly
existing under the laws of ______________.

     

    (b)   Shares.  The
Seller is the lawful owner of the Shares, and the Seller has the full power and
authority to sell the Shares, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances
whatsoever.  All of the Shares have been validly issued and are fully
paid and nonassessable; and no person has any present or future right
(conditional, preemptive or otherwise) to acquire any of the
Shares.  Upon delivery of such Shares and payment therefor pursuant
hereto, good and valid title to all such Shares free and clear of all liens or
encumbrances whatsoever, options, warrants, purchase rights, contracts,
commitments, equities, claims and demands will be transferred to Buyer, and such
Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


    
      
         


      

      
         


        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (c)   Warrants.  The
Seller is the lawful owner of the Warrant, and the Seller has the full power and
authority to sell the Warrant, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances
whatsoever.  The Warrant has been validly issued and upon payment in
full of the Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrant) all of the shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Underlying Shares”) will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable; and no person has any present or future right
(conditional, preemptive or otherwise) to acquire the Warrant or any of the
Underlying Shares.  Upon delivery of such Warrant and payment therefor
pursuant hereto, good and valid title to such Warrant free and clear of all
liens or encumbrances whatsoever, options, warrants, purchase rights, contracts,
commitments, equities, claims and demands will be transferred to
Buyer.

     

    (d)   No Breach or
Conflict.  The sale of the Securities contemplated by this
Agreement does not conflict with, or result in a breach of, or a default under,
or give rise to a right of acceleration under, any agreement or instrument to
which the Seller is a party.

     

    (e)   Enforceability.  Upon
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement will be a valid and
binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
(a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights,
(b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable
remedies, and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of any indemnification
provisions hereof may be limited by applicable laws.

     

    (f)   Consent.  No
consent of any other person, and no notice to, filing or registration with, or
consent, approval or authorization of, any court or governmental authority,
regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other third party is necessary or is
required to be made or obtained by Seller, in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, except as may be required under the state securities laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Buyer is resident.

     

    (g)   Litigation.  There
is no litigation, arbitration proceeding, governmental investigation, citation
or action of any kind pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, proposed or
threatened that seeks restraint, prohibition, damages or other relief in
connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or that otherwise might impair the Securities.

     

    (h)   Fees and Expenses of Brokers
and Others.  Seller is not committed to any liability for any
brokers’ or finders’ fees or any similar fees in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller has not retained any broker or
other intermediary to act on its behalf in connection with the transactions

(the “Securities Act”).

     

    (c)   Knowledge and
Experience.  The Buyer is an “accredited investor” (as such
term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act), is knowledgeable and
experienced in businesses of the sort conducted by the Company.

     

    (d)   Investment
Risk.  The Buyer understands that the Buyer may be required to
hold the Securities indefinitely due to the requirements of the Securities
Act.  The Buyer is capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved
in the acquisition of the Securities and is capable of bearing the economic risk
of such investment.

     

    (e)   Resale.  The
Buyer is aware that any resale inconsistent with the Securities Act may create
liability on its part and/or the part of the Seller, and agrees not to assign,
sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of the Securities
unless in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws.
